Common Water Damage Problems We Fix in Upper Paxton Township

Upper Paxton Township homes face a range of property damage threats. Knowing the warning signs helps you act before minor issues become major repairs.

Water Damage from Plumbing Failures and Storms

Upper Paxton Township’s rural properties often have older plumbing systems prone to pipe bursts, especially during harsh central Pennsylvania winters. Heavy rainfall along the Wiconisco Creek drainage area can also overwhelm basements and crawl spaces. Warning signs include water stains on ceilings, warped flooring, and musty odors. Professional extraction and structural drying are needed immediately to prevent further deterioration.

Fire and Smoke-Related Damage

Older farmhouses and homes with wood-burning stoves throughout Upper Paxton Township carry a higher risk of fire incidents. Smoke travels quickly through ductwork and wall cavities, leaving odor and soot in rooms far from the fire source. Many homeowners underestimate how far smoke penetrates into insulation and framing. Full restoration requires professional cleaning, odor neutralization, and sometimes partial reconstruction to fully resolve the damage.

Mold Growth in Damp Basements and Crawl Spaces

The combination of high humidity in summer and moisture intrusion in older Upper Paxton Township foundations creates conditions where mold thrives quickly. Stone foundations common in rural Dauphin County homes allow groundwater to seep in, keeping crawl spaces perpetually damp. Visible black or green patches, allergy symptoms, and musty smells are key warning signs. Remediation involves safely removing mold colonies and addressing the underlying moisture source.

Storm Damage to Roofs, Siding, and Windows

Nor’easters and severe summer thunderstorms regularly batter Upper Paxton Township, stripping shingles, damaging siding, and cracking windows. Exposed roof decking and broken seals allow rain to enter and damage insulation, ceilings, and walls within hours. Many homeowners do not realize the full extent of storm damage until water stains appear inside. Emergency tarping and prompt structural repairs are critical to limiting interior water intrusion and mold risk.

Our basement flooded due to a broken sewer pipe. Major did a wonderful job of clean-up. Anthony and Cam did an awesome job of putting our room back together the way it was before the flooding. I would highly recommend Major and Anthony and Cam!

We can’t say enough amazing things about Major Restoration Services! After an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with ServPro, Major Restorations came in and completely turned our situation around. From the very first phone call to the final walk-through, they were fair, transparent, and professional every step of the way. Duy was incredible—he came out right away to assess the water damage, had a detailed estimate to us the same day, and got the job started the very next morning. From there, the entire project was completed in less than a month! He even reviewed our outrageous invoice from ServPro and pointed out where they were clearly overcharging us. His honesty and industry knowledge were such a breath of fresh air. Tyler started tear-out and water remediation and was fantastic—thorough and clearly knew exactly what needed to be done. Jay and Cameron took care of the remodel and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of their work. They were friendly, respectful, and clearly cared about doing the job right. We truly hope we never need water damage services again, but if we do—or need any remodel work—Major Restoration Services will be our very first call. This is a company that genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in doing the job right. They’ve earned our trust and our business for life!

I wanted to make sure I leave a review of the team at Major Restoration. I purchased my first home in May of 2024. Within days of moving in, I had a plumbing issue that needed immediate correction. I contacted my insurance company who has a national contract with another national restoration service. After the initial company came to my house, they remediated the sewage damage and I was told I would be contacted by the restoration team to complete the restoration. MONTHS went by with little to no response from the other company. After getting the run around for months and not having use of my first level and full bathroom, I had my fill of the nonsense. I reached out to Major Restoration, hoping beyond hope that the team there could help me. My initial call was exactly what I needed at the time - I was met with compassion and quick estimate set up. Duoy and Brian came out to see what was left after the other company refused to complete the work. They were extremely kind, compassionate and thorough, ensuring that the estimate they worked up for the insurance company would completely restore my first level and get me whole again. Within weeks, the team at Major Restoration begun the work of putting things back together for me. They worked with a plumbing sub-con, DeRose Plumbing, who were also very kind, respectful and understanding. Major didn't just restore my first level - they made the space BETTER than it was when I bought it. The work they did was NEXT LEVEL. My family room, bathroom and laundry room are the showpiece of my house now, thanks to Major! I can't recommend this team enough. They were thorough, professional, kind and respectful. Every single team member, from the estimate team to the restoration crew to the office staff, treated me with respect and kindness, and the restoration work was completed impeccably. My only regret is that I listened to my insurance company and allowed them to pull in a national company to address the issue. In the future, my first choice will be Major Restoration.
